Can you die from eating too much peanut butter?

[grover124]

I've eaten nothing but peanut butter for the past 3 days and I'm feeling very sick. Just sandwiches mostly and I ate them very fast. I worked most of it off but I'm experiencing terrible acid reflux and I'm very scared. My heart rate has been all over the place and the only thing that is helping has been walking.

I feel restless and on edge and curious whether I should get checking into a hospital.

Perhaps a psychiatric hospital.

Sorry, couldn't resist. This would only be dangerous for your health if you were allergic to any of the components. I would not recommend this long term but this should not cause physical symptoms over three days.

Now, variable heart rate could be something separate. Peanut butter sandwiches should not trigger reflux without an allergy of some sort or an intolerance. For those symptoms and feeling scared you possibly would benefit from medical attention sooner than later.

I have to ask, why did you eat like this over the last three days?

Second that.

Well if you are having acid reflux and your heart rate has been all over the place then yes perhaps it's time to go to a hospital.

Lol, I can't even think how to troll you :S

I had a 1400 CALORIE/day deficit last week and my hunger came back with a vengeance.

Everytime I leave the house and get around people the symptoms go away. So I guess I'm wondering if it's just a panic attack at this point

[grover124]

My heart rate is 85 sometimes 60 but I could just be panicking not sure. I'm worried though and would just like some reassurance.

My kids eat peanut butter every day, sometimes multiple times a day, and they seem to be doing just fine. Chill the eff out. Go back to eating normally, you're fine.

Panic attacks should only last minutes, not hours. However, if you only have symptoms at home then it is either psychological or there is some sort of environmental exposure at home (ie, carbon monoxide) that is giving you trouble. If this correlates with turning the heat on or replacing filters or something like that then that may help you pinpoint the cause.

The big question is, Why are you on such a large deficit? No wonder you wanted to binge on something high in calories.

Have you seen se7en?

Short answer: yes

Sorry OP, but I don't believe you. Nice try at attention though.

I've almost choked to death on peanut butter before. The worst part about eating only peanut butter for a day or two is the razor blade feeling the next morning.

OP, as I type this, you have 5 posts on this site. Let's look at pieces of each of those 5 posts...

My family thinks I'm anorexic and its really starting to worry me.

I'm worried I'll have a heart attack or my heart will give out if I dont eat enough but also dont want to gain weight.

I don't think a weightlifting forum is where you need to be seeking help from at this point...

How have you eaten nothing but peanut butter, but you say you’ve been eating sandwiches? I’m sort of an expert on this, so you can trust me when I say if you’re eating peanut butter sandwiches.....you’re also eating bread.

I just assumed he spread PB into "sheets" and deep fried them to use as the bread, similar to the taco bell naked chicken chips.

death by peanut butter what times we live in

[ErikTheElectric]

I'ddie in a bathtub full of peanut butter. What a glorious death.
